Replacing startplasma with shell scripts or dinit (Part 1)

This is an ideal use case for shells scripts: you start processes, set environment variables, run configuration commands, possibly source environment fragments.

I am still running an .xinitrc that has been evolving since the 1990s and will do a similar approach if I ever move to Wayland. Even xinit/startx is a bit overcomplicated though. I thought about switching them out for something like sx but I don't restart my X11 session very often and never think to do it when it's time.

Haven't used dinit yet and it feels like a bit of an overkill but curious what the author has done with it. (next part, not published yet)
